Packers' Off Season Moves and 2017 Roster

[Joemailman]

^ He must have been more forthcoming in the small group interview after his PC (unless I just flat out missed it):

Re-reading McCarthy transcript. Called Lang "as fine an offensive lineman as I’ve had an opportunity to coach in 20+ years in this league."

Still don't read that a pressuring Ted.

Maybe not, but Lang's agent might use that quote to pressure Ted.

[pbmax]

OK, maybe this quote explains it.

McCarthy also with strong reply to who'd play right guard if TJ Lang departs: "Those are hypotheticals. I’m counting on T.J. to come back."

Still file this under dodging with hypothetical objection, but at least they weren't making up the elevated level of support out of whole cloth.

Surprised Cohen found time to be at the combine between digging up old arrest records of anyone he can find

Exactly what I first thought!

But McCarthy did seem to hit this theme. On Lacy he said:

Jason Wilde‏ @jasonjwilde 20h20 hours ago
McCarthy unequivocal on Lacy to #Packers beat writers in Indy: "We’d like to get Eddie back. He’s our guy. He’s one of our core players."

He has said previously he wanted other players back but that business comes first. So I still don't think this was pressure, but he's also not dancing around it.

If you could only choose one player, would you rather have Lang or Perry back?

Perry. Younger. Just hitting his prime. Lang is on the downside of his career.

[pbmax]

Perry.

[Zool]

Perry. Pass rushers seem to be much harder to find.

[Rutnstrut]

I usually favor the big uglies (O-lineman) because no one else does and they have a very important job. But in the case of Lang or Perry, I would go with perry. The Packer D is so terrible that they can't afford to lose a solid player.

[Smidgeon]

How much would Alshon Jeffrey cost?

Tom Silverstein says Packers should go after Peterson. if they're considering that they should just draft Mixon. younger, better, cheaper.

I guess I'd rather an assault on an adults face than a child's genitals. But maybe I'm weird?

the thing that gets me about the video is how he walks out of the place like a stud after he destroys the little girl

[pbmax]

Pete Dougherty, advocating for signing Peterson, took a reasonable approach to the argument, then stepped off a cliff. Earned himself an after publication edit and a rebuke, essentially calling him dumb.

Column as it is now with correction: http://www.packersnews.com/story/spo...rson/98641276/

A paragraph in an earlier version of Pete Dougherty’s column that included a reference to Peterson’s punishment of his 4-year-old son being connected to America’s history of slavery was removed. It was poorly reasoned and insensitive. We apologize to all readers who were offended.

when i lived in the south in the early 90's, it was still acceptable for the principle to beat the shit out of you with a paddle if you broke even a minor school rule

me and 3 other kids got it for throwing little erasers across the room at each other for fun

Yeah, Dougherty has a thorough stew of bad information, bad dates, and poor cause and effect reasoning. There are arguments that is survives despite brutality suffered in the past and others think it survives because of fear of more current forms of violence.

There should be an alarm bell that goes off over the copy editors desk when a columnist hands in a four sentence paragraph about a social issue so complex it would take the entire paper to summarize effectively.

you could put someone's eye out kid.

He may be a child-beater, but he's our child-beater. Is that what Daugherty wants, then?

It's all so crazy hypocritical. A third-stringer accused of punching his wife is a shitty human being; a star who punches his wife is a troubled guy with a tough past.
